1. WHAT INFORMATION WE MAY COLLECT

For purposes of this Privacy Policy, “personal information” means any information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual, and does not include protected health information (“PHI”). The personal information we collect through our Sites may include the following types of information.

We may collect the following personal information about you that you choose to provide us when you use our Sites:

Information that is automatically collected

Our Sites may use cookies and other tracking technologies such as web beacons, embedded scripts, and tags (“Cookies”), which collect information from you automatically as you use our Sites, including:

• Usage data for the Sites, such as browsing history, time spent on the Sites, pages visited, links clicked, language preferences, patterns of use, and the pages that led or referred you to our Sites.

Plausible receives but does not store IP addresses of visitors to the Sites, and does not track visits across days or the Internet.

Plausible states that it does not collect and analyze personal information from web users or use those behavioral insights to sell advertisements.
• On July 1, 2024 we reinstated Google Analytics on our site, after substantial changes to their privacy policies that guaranteed better user protections and allowed Plan C to opt out of collecting or storing any identifiable information. See Google Analytics terms here.

Remember that sites that we link to or embed content from may use services like Google Analytics for tracking and advertising. For more information, please see Links To Other Sites.
